Summary

With this episode we are going to take you behind the scenes. We usually do this type of thing over on Patreon but we know many of you are interested in more episodes where we are just being ourselves and talking about what we are going through. We would love to hear what you think about this type of episode and if you’d like to hear more like it.

We go through what it is like for us to have different social needs than our partner. For Amy, it can be a struggle when she is more of a homebody and her spouse is more social. Or the opposite can be true as well. Abby tends to be more of a busy body and, at times, wishes her partner would have more real-life friends. Navigating these situations is tough and we chat about what works for us in these scenarios.

If you’ve been a long time listener then you know that we both have been going through our own health journeys. As we enter our mid-thirties, we are finding that this season of life can be challenging. Especially if you’ve had children. Both of us give you an update on where we are currently at and what tools we use to help us feel our best.

We are doing a book club this month, so if you aren’t a member of our Patreon community yet, be sure to head over there to join us for a monthly bonus episode and to participate in this month’s book; The Measure by Nikki Erlick.

0:00.0	It didn't feel good. I was hitting those numbers and I thought in my mind that it
0:04.5	feels so good to be able to see those again lower than I was when I entered
0:07.4	college like, wow, I've been trying to do this by cutting calories, exercising
0:11.2	more, and then I realized that that's literally when I felt the worst.
0:18.4	I made me and I'm Abby and as women we are constantly comparing ourselves to
0:24.5	others. But your life isn't supposed to look like hers. Being your best
0:29.5	south means standing firm in your decisions and always being willing to
0:33.3	grow with a purpose. We get vulnerable and real with an honest look into the
0:38.0	challenges and triumphs we all face. Every woman listening is the
0:42.2	opportunity to choose what life looks like for herself.
0:47.7	With this episode we are going to take it a little bit behind the scenes. This is
0:55.5	the type of episode that we usually do over on Patreon but we were talking to
1:00.0	our friends Sarah and she said you know I think a lot of people would just love
1:04.3	more episodes where you guys are just being yourselves and talking about the
1:09.3	things that you're going through and not every episode has to have an
1:12.6	expert on. So we would love to hear at the end of this what you thought about
1:16.5	this episode but we're just going to go through some things that we've been
1:20.0	going through in our lives. So the first thing that comes to mind for me is I'm in a
1:25.9	season. It's March when we're recording this where Drew has a lot of asks and it
1:33.6	is all of my friends are like he has a better social life than any of the
1:38.6	rest of us and we know Drew is a very social person like it fills his cup up to
